Squirrel Nut Zippers - Anything but Love

I sing a song about clouds and rainbows
I hum a tune that sings like a dove.
Rhyme some words about anything
Anything but love.
I paint a picture of my prison
With blue and grey from the skies above
Framed and signed with the title
"Anything but Love."
He had to go but I won't miss him
I have got better things to do
Like writing stories and painting pictures
Of anything but love.
I write a story about a couple
Steal a plot from an old movie
You can tell what inspired it
Anything but love.
